THE DAY THE MUSIC STOPPED
There were five of them, and wherever they went, they walked together. One single line, arm- in-arm. Everyone else had to step aside and let them by as it was obvious from one quick glance that they were impenetrable. They were not going to break apart and let someone else in, though many tried over the years. If you were not one of the five, you were out. You were a nobody with almost no hope and no chance.
They were what everyone wanted. A winning combination that could not be beat. An athlete, quick on his feet and highly competitive, a musician that was part actor/part poet, an intellectual that was part expert/part snob, a businessman who excelled in takeovers and mergers, and a “humanitarian” who raised money for fake charities.
All were beautiful, sensual and desirable. Five glorious male bodies, two with female identities and one that was androgynous. A heterosexual, two bisexuals and two homosexuals. A liberal, two conservatives, an independent and an undecided. Three Christians, a Jew and an atheist that supported both the prophets Muhammed and Brigham Young. Three artists, a military leader and a mechanic. Two child advocates, two dog lovers and a cat enthusiast. All the bases were covered.
Together it worked, and together they controlled everyone and everything. Charming fast talkers with the gift of gab. Natural born salesmen who could see a door opening when the rest of the world saw it as slammed shut. Confident and calm, even in the worst of times. No one would see it coming, and no one would suspect a thing. They would begin with America.
Hollywood was their first target. When the best and the brightest were gone, they went after the oil executives, Wall Street and then Congress, followed closely by the auto industry, the airlines, the banks, every retail giant both east and west of the Mississippi, and finally, Nashville. Then they went global.
They knew the drugs to give everyone. The ones that would sedate and the ones that would agitate. The brainwashing and white washing hallucinogens combined with voice command, sex and subliminal messaging. Mind, body and spirit control. No one would object because no one knew it was happening.
It all worked until the day when the musician left … and the music stopped.
